Superb starting point to explore the vineyards of Beaune

By Svändy

Wolfsburg

My Trip Type: Couple

This former monastry is located in a small village only few minutes drive from motorway Paris /Lyon in full silence. The famous vineyards of cote-de-nuits are surrounding. The route to the historical city center of Beaune needs 20 minutes by car.
Honestly the charme of that Hotel is little bit stucked in the 80ies and imitating the chateau style.
I missed that feeling for details. The Restautrant is located in a historical vaulted cellar with spectacular atmosphere. We enjopyed the dinner very much with superb food and service accompanied with a large variety of local vines.
very much.

17th century charm

By Carlos from Les Avants, Switzerland

Stay date: August 2016

My Trip Type: Couple

A nice stay in a beautiful historic building in a great location. Ideally located to explore the upper Burgundy region, the Château de Gilly offers friendly service, great food in a unique restaurant and comfortable historic rooms, in a quiet location. We especially appreciated the breakfast experience in a beautiful 17th century room with Anita's attention; the cosines of the bar and the restaurant's setting. We did not like the neglected pool area, nor the poor bathroom amenities. Face cloths can requested, but were not changed during our 4 nights stay, even when requested...

A lovely place to stay in Burgundy

By Simon from Lightwater, United Kingdom

A lovely place to stay in Burgundy but shame it was raining. Holiday'd in Burgundy several times but never come across Chaeau de Gilly before. Lovely rooms and excellent restaurant.
I'm sure we'll stay here again although I'm not sure I'd tag it as "Luxury" - but all things are relative!

Flawed

By Andrew from Farnham, United Kingdom

Stay date: August 2015

My Trip Type: Family

The biggest disappointment with the hotel was that it could, and should, have been fabulous.
There are a lot of positives to the hotel but firstly the areas that need work.
After a 6 hour drive from Nice it took over an hour to get served drinks on the outside terrace. Not acceptable and harder to take when it is 30+ deg. There was also a very limited menu for food unless you booked into the formal restaurant.
On the second evening I was sat on the terrace with my son before dinner. I would have ordered drinks but the gentleman at reception 20 ft away didn't come and ask or notify the bar staff of potential customers. These are the basics that get you repeat custom, or not.
The room itself however was huge and beautiful. If the curtains had actually met in the middle to keep out the morning sun that would have been a bonus!
The breakfast the next day was lovely and after a bike ride ( kindly provided free-of-charge by the hotel) we headed to the pool. A 'drinks service' is advertised. I asked at reception for some drinks and was assured somebody would come to the pool. After a 30 minute wait I went back to reception only to be told that there is no pool attendant on a Monday.
They did relent and bring down drinks and the very helpful lady also opened the bar briefly to serve some of the other pool users but it was then locked up again. At this stage it was only 36 deg so regular drinks would have been appreciated.....
Our SLH confirmation email also promised a free 'wine tour and tasting' but we were given nothing. My wife asked about a tour and was told there was a cost to pay.
When I mentioned this (and the above issues) at check out I was given a voucher. As we were leaving I explained that it really would have been more useful at check in.
The receptionist was very apologetic and explained that they hadn't been notified by SLH of this offer.
All in all, the Chateau was beautiful, the grounds lovely and the location just stunning.
Dinner in the restaurant was also fabulous. A great menu, beautifully cooked and a superb wine list to compliment it.
Unfortunately this doesn't quite gloss over the short falls.
Whilst the staff were all very helpful and charming, there just weren't enough of them. Asking for service my be considered normal in a British pub but not in a hotel. When I mentioned the lack of staff to the lady on reception she did nod 'knowingly' as if this wasn't a revelation or a regular comment from customers.
It is such a shame for a beautiful hotel to be let down by easily redeemable short falls. I think the appointment of a visible manager to over see the day-to-day running would be an ideal starting point. That would give customers a focus point for any issues and some necessary direction for the staff.

Peaceful chateau in Bourgogne

By Peter from Milton Keynes, United Kingdom

Stay date: July 2015

My Trip Type: Couple

A fantastic chateau in peaceful surroundings in the heart of the Bourgogne wine region. Great service, excellent food and a tranquil village location. Within easy reach of Dijon and Beaune. Close to the motorway but far enough away not to be spoilt by the sound of passing cars. Quirky but spacious rooms.

Comfortable, spacious room and bathroom with views over pleasant parre-terre garden. Very attractive restaurant, good service and good food. Pity that breakfast could not be served on the terrace as the room was pretty boring and the breakfast terribly overpriced. Overall very good overnight stop and we would be happy to return

A comfortable one night stay.

By Linda from Beckenham, Kent, United Kingdom

Stay date: September 2014

An Impressive looking chateaux. Staff at reception were very unfriendly. The room was large, we had been given an upgrade to a Junior suite, but very basic in design. Dull colour scheme, large bed, too soft. We were given complimentary bottled water which was a nice touch as this seems to be rare in our experience of French hotels. We arrived at 19.30, the restaurant was already fully booked but we did enjoy our bar food served in comfy lounge. The gardens were delightful. A pleasant one night stay on our return journey to London.

It was Okay

By Mitchell from Carrollton, USA

Stay date: August 2014

My Trip Type: Family

Great location. Great building. In need of an update. I realize small hotels don't have 24 hour bell desk support, but this hotel had none ever. No elevator, which is part of the charm of such a great old building, but four flights of stairs with luggage and no bellman is not exactly luxury hotel service. Charming, good stay but an overall update is really needed here. For example, the cheapest towels you could imagine, worn carpet, roof leaks in the building, etc. They need to spend a few dollars here. The restaurant is tremendous and again, the overall charm is fantastic.

Lovely location

By Stephen from Beyton, United Kingdom

Stay date: June 2014

My Trip Type: Couple

Lovely location and friendly staff. However, despite several months notice, reception saying they had notified the kitchens, staff did not get in some gluten free bread or any other products. They also struggled to get to grips with the ingredients in their menus. This resulted in a particularly poor breakfast.

Lovely stopover near Beaune

By rita from brussels, Belgium

Stay date: January 2013

My Trip Type: Couple

The hotel is wonderfully positioned to explore the Burgundy wine region. The chateau, grounds and surrounding village are incredible.
The restaurant, however, is just average and guests have little choice if they want to stay at or near the hotel. The food is overpriced and highly mediocre, and although in the heart of Burgundy, the wine prices are ridiculous. This leaves guests feeling that the hotel is taking advantage of their captivity.

Top tip for other guests:

Stay at the hotel, but consider dining elsewhere

Hotelier reply:

Dear Rita,
Thank you for taking the time to post a message after your stay at Château de Gilly.
Following your comments, I have noted and informed the kitchen team.
Know that our primary goal is to satisfy our customers, and our chef Jean Alain Poitevin, and his team are looking for customer satisfaction through a cuisine made with quality products.
I wanted to apologize for the bad experience you have lived..
We would love to welcome you again at Chateau de Gilly, help you to discover the cuisine of our Chef.
Sincerely.
Rémy BESOZZI - Director
